  1. PARIS le Grand Cafe

    Magnifique!
  2. PARIS DIAGONAL rue Gluck

    Another magnificent BAT, another 10/10 Just too bad that SimCity's tilesets won't easily allow something like this to grow properly.
  3. PARIS DIAGONAL rue Meyerbeer

    As perfect as ever.
  4. PARIS DIAGONAL Paramount Opera Theatre

    The only possible minor complaint would be that the real buildings don't even look THAT good. 1 ( =10/10 ;) ).
  5. HK Bank of China Tower

    WOW. A great, awesome BAT. The major drawback is that is makes most of the rest pale in comparison.
  6. Hong Kong AIG Tower (Legacy Version)

    Textures, model, lighting, and especially that "wavy" effect definitely show your talent. Alas, I strongly dislike sky reflections, as the from-above viewpoint of SC4 means that it's actually the ground that gets reflected, not the sky. Had you chosen to reflect a generic cityscape seen from above, I'd happily have rated this a 20/10 effort.
  7. NDEX SR Eblem Tower

    The design of the BAT is superb. However, the nightlighting of the top glass wall that surrounds the terrace is a bit weird, because there's nothing behind the glass that would explain such an uniform light - especially the back rows (where lighting would have to come from behind the tower...). As Kongars wrote, this would be even better with omnis, and although that's more rendering time I think the results would be well worth the effort - and even more so for all-glass buildings.
  8. Can't Find It? Ask Here!

    Hello, I was trying to find some buildings by Cerulean (CARCH), but was unable to find them... does anyone know where they've gone ? Thanks a lot in advance if you can help...
  9. Bixel's Super Tall

    I prefer the three first ones in row 1 (in particular 2 and 3), and the last one in row 3. I don't really like the cloudish textures in row 2 (and the last one in row 1). I do like the brownish colour, but I really hate cloudy reflections (that's of course very personal and subjective); since the viewpoint is from above, the ground should be reflected, not the sky (cloud reflections are OK when looking at a building from ground level only). -> The dual colour scheme is great, but it's just the clouds I don't like. With the same colours but no clouds, it'd be perfect.
  10. La Tour Eiffel

    This isn't the first time the Eiffel Tower gets to the STEX, but none of the previous models would come even close to this one. Now, we have that Iron lady in all her magnificent and gorgeous glory, and it was definitely worth the wait. One of the best BATs ever.
  11. OpenBooks Library

    > ducksberry While I agree that the "bookish" design might not be graspable by someone walking on the street (and not even sure, as the smaller "books" do provide some effect), the library might well be seen from such an angle in a city that has enough tall buildings. Anyway, citizens would have seen many sketches and mock-ups already, and helicopter pictures would also have been taken... no risk they'd miss the design. ;)
  12. XDesign Nerloy Corporation

    Scale seems a bit too small on the picture (where I can count 6 floors for the building in the background, this one has 8), it might be rescaled somewhat upwards. Nightlights are a tad bright. Otherwise, great BAT, very realistic, and good texturing.
  13. Shenzhen Special Zone Press Tower

    The overall design is very good. However, windows nightlights are a bit lacky on the front side, and the glass reflections are (IMHO) not a good idea (I would have prefered no reflections, and from that angle you can't see buildings reflected from far away...). For a first BAT, it's excellent. Keep up with the good work !
  14. NDEX Zeus Corporation by Tragicomicus

    Good design, I like the shape a lot. However, there are really a lot of nightlighted windows (do they all work overtime ?), yet the entrance hall's windows are still dark. This is a bit weird... (the roof is not lighted either, but maybe on purpose, as they might want to keep it a secret)
  15. DEDWD FLW Larkin Admin Building

    Great building, and great model. It's a shame it was destroyed, for mostly stupid "reasons"... Thanks to computers, it might still live forever.
  16. Hagestede Apartments set

    Excellent modeling, especially the nightlights - by the way, it seems that new standards are currently being set for these. These buildings somewhat look between true R$ and R$$, they're a bit upscale for R$ slumps yet lack some of the polishing (e.g. the style of the non-balcony windows, rather oldish/cheap) that would make them true R$$.
  17. OpenBooks Library

    It doesn't feel like just another copy of something (though the concept has some commonality with the French National Library - also representing open books, but duller), and yet it's very realistic for modern architecture - the use of concrete walls, glass and steel frames corresponds to our real world's state-of-the-art. (stupid truncater)
  18. OpenBooks Library

    Not only is this one of the finest BATs around in terms of modelling, it's also one of the finest architectural designs ever shared on the STEX. An original and interesting building, that could win a bid in real life.
  19. OpenBooks Library

    Wow. 10/10, but I'd give you 100/10 if I could.
  20. HK Estate Pack1

    Nice buildings, though they look more R$$ than R$ to me. ;)
  21. Marina Residence by skyscraper

    I would also have preferred it without swimming pool at the top. And to me, this would have been a very good CO$$ building. Perhaps have the top as a kind of terrasse, with a small bar/restaurant.
  22. Oceanic Tower

    Very nice design. However, the scaling is slightly off: where I'd usually count 8 floors with other buildings, there are 9 floors for this one. So, if you could upscale it by approx 10% and do the renderings again, it'd be better. I know it's already rather tall, so maybe you just wanted to limit its size...
